Odessa Texas - March 2012

This month finds me off to Odessa to stay with my Grandsons, Zach and Drew, while their parents go to Hawaii.  I had such a good time taking the boys to school each morning and picking them up each afternoon.We would stop for a treat at Dairy Queen or 7 Eleven on the way home.

One day the boys and I went to the bookstore for a book Drew had been wanting.  Then we started off on our trip to Midland to eat at one of their favorite restaurants.  How I got lost just going to Midland I will never understand but I did.  I was so lost that I (and Zach) were afraid we would never see Odessa again.  After several hours of wandering around, I finally found my way back home.  We never made it to the restaurant so decided to stop at Red Lobster in Odessa.  This will probably be one of the things my Grandsons remember about Grammy!  Ha Ha.  A few days later Drew said, "Grammy can we try to find the restaurant again."  Very quickly and loudly Zach and I both said, "NO."  It was so funny that we all started laughing.  I love those boys so much and was so glad I got to stay an extended length of time with them.

During my time with them Drew had his school picture made.  He picked something other that what his Mom had left in instructions for me.  I really worried that his picture would turn out bad and it would all be Grammy's fault.  But as you can see it was perfect.



Even though Zach didn't have his picture made; here is one so you can see how handsome he is!
 
 
I have the best Son-in law!  Dan knew that I have always wanted to shoot a gun so before they left on their trip, he arranged with one of his friends to take us target practicing.  It was so much fun.  We shot a pistol and a rifle.  I even hit the target a few times.  I really have a new respect for guns.  I hope to buy one so Michael and I can go target practicing for fun. 
 
 
 
 
Dan and Yolanda had a great time cruising around the Hawaiian Islands.
 
 
We were glad when Dan and Yolanda made it home safe and sound.  I'm now looking forward to staying with the boys when they go on another trip.
